Booking software for Melbourne mobile and home services
From the inner north to the Bellarine, ZipScheduler lets your customers book by postcode and keeps you in one part of Melbourne at a time.
How it works here
Your postcodes are the front door.
Melbourne is big, and for a mobile business the drive between jobs is where the day disappears. A run from Coburg to Frankston is an hour you are not being paid for. ZipScheduler starts every booking with the customer's postcode, so you decide which suburbs you serve and on which days. Put the inner north on Mondays, the bayside on Wednesdays and Geelong on Fridays, and customers in each area only ever see the days you are there. Mobile groomers, dog dental services, cleaners and tradies across Victoria already book this way.
- Area first
- every postcode you choose
- Local time
- availability in your timezone
- Australian
- pricing and invoices
Customers enter their postcode before they see a single time slot. Outside your coverage, there is nothing to book.
Made to fit the market
What running a service business in Melbourne demands
Generic booking tools ignore all of this. ZipScheduler is built around it.
Days for each part of Melbourne
Give 3000 to 3207 one set of days and 3220 Geelong another. Customers only see the days you are actually in their suburb, so your week groups itself by area.
One job at a time, across every suburb
If it is just you, a booking in Brunswick at 9am blocks 9am everywhere, including the travel gap you set between jobs. No more two customers in different suburbs at the same time.
Several pets or jobs in one visit
A customer with three dogs books three appointments back to back and types their details once. Each one still lands in your calendar as its own job.
School holidays and long weekends
Close the business for the Christmas break or a long weekend across every postcode at once, without touching existing bookings.
Kilometres and Australian dollars
Show travel in kilometres and prices in Australian dollars. Take a deposit by card when a customer books, on PRO.
One booking cutoff, calculated correctly wherever the customer is.
Nothing to configure
Set up in Melbourne without a workaround in sight.
Currency, tax wording, date format and timezone all follow the region you operate in, so your booking page reads the way your customers expect on the very first visit.
Priced in australian dollars
Services, deposits and invoices all display in australian dollars, with gst handled the way it is written locally.
Times your customers recognise
Dates and times render as DD/MM/YYYY, 12 hour, and availability is calculated in your own timezone rather than a server clock.
Every postcode supported
Add as many postcodes as you cover, each with its own working days, hours, slot lengths and daily limits.
Set once when you sign up. Every page your customer sees follows it.
Up and running

No installation, no onboarding call, no card until you decide to upgrade.

Questions from Melbourne
Can I cover different Melbourne suburbs on different days?
Yes. Each postcode you add has its own working days and hours. A customer in 3058 sees your Coburg days and a customer in 3220 sees your Geelong days.
I work on my own. Can customers in two suburbs book the same time?
No. With one job at a time switched on, a booking anywhere blocks that time everywhere, including the travel gap you set between jobs.
Can a customer book for more than one pet at once?
Yes. Turn on several appointments per booking and a customer can add a second or third pet, entering their own details once. The appointments are booked back to back.

The free plan includes online booking for up to 3 postcodes. PRO is 24 US dollars per month, or 198 US dollars per year, and includes 300 postcodes, card payments and deposits, Google Calendar sync and the client CRM.
